PaxOcean Group, a member of Kuok Maritime Group, and Ulstein Design & Solutions AS have signed a contract for the design of an ULSTEIN SX222 service operation vessel (SOV) for NYK Line (Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha). PaxOcean will construct the vessel at its Graha yard in Batam, Indonesia.
Dajin Heavy Industry has selected the ULSTEIN HX122 design, featuring the U-STERN® hull solution, for the development of its offshore installation vessel. The vessel has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions B.V. in the Netherlands. The vessel is optimised for installing monopiles, jacket foundations, and offshore substations, supporting the growing demand for larger and more complex offshore wind projects.
Jan De Nul has exercised the option for a second trenching vessel based on the customised vessel design developed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. The decision confirms the confidence in the design platform and strengthens the collaboration between the two companies.
On 23 June 2026, Hanwha Philly Shipyard delivered the subsea rock installation vessel (SRIV) Acadia to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock. The vessel is the first of its kind under the U.S. flag and is designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions B.V. in the Netherlands.
A front-row seat to the TWIN X-STERN® series: Onboard a typical CSOV, the ship's hospital is stocked with seasickness tablets and dry biscuits for technicians unaccustomed to offshore conditions. On Windea Carnot, demand for seasickness remedies is nearly zero. Instead, the three-flavour ice cream machine has become one of the most popular features.
Bernhard Schulte Offshore (BSO) continues to grow its modern offshore wind fleet with the addition of Windea Clarke, further strengthening its position in the global energy market. Delivered from Ulstein Verft on 2 July 2026, the vessel marks another milestone in BSO’s ambitious fleet development programme.
Subsea rock installation may be one of the less visible parts of an offshore project, but it plays a critical role in protecting some of its most valuable assets. The focus is increasing due to the current geopolitical situation.
Ulstein Group recorded revenues of NOK 3.0 billion and an operating profit of NOK 219.2 million in 2025.
Acta Marine has taken delivery of Acta Gemini, the third vessel in a series of four ULSTEIN SX216 Construction Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs) featuring the ULSTEIN TWIN X-STERN® design.
Why vessel operability matters more than ever for reducing LCOE; Vessel uptime has become a critical enabler of project performance.
On Tuesday, 24 March, a large-scale rescue exercise was carried out off the coast of Lofoten, Norway, testing a new emergency towing system for ships. The cruise vessel MS Spitsbergen, with 150 passengers on board, the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Barentshav, and the 330 Squadron’s SAR Queen rescue helicopter took part.
How can you be confident that a new vessel design will actually perform in rough seas and demanding operations? The answer lies in thorough verification, independent testing and documented performance. Recently, a new Ulstein design for a cable-laying vessel was tested in a large-scale ocean basin at SINTEF Ocean. The results delivered exactly what Ulstein seeks: confidence that the design performs as intended.
Ulsteinvik, Norway, 10 March 2026 – Jan De Nul has selected a customised vessel design from Ulstein Design & Solutions AS for its latest addition to its offshore fleet. The realisation of the trenching vessel marks a milestone in the collaboration between two leading maritime innovators. The vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2028. The basic design is based on a robust and globally proven subsea vessel design.
An expedition cruise takes you to the edges of the world, places that remain wild, remote and profoundly beautiful. As exploration gives way to evening, the transition back to the ship feels seamless, from raw landscapes to effortless luxury.
OMS Group, a leading provider of subsea digital infrastructure, has signed contracts with Ulstein, a world-renowned designer and builder of advanced offshore vessels, for the design and construction of two cable-laying vessels.
